I'm running Windows 2000 on one machine and Win XP
another. Both machines have Office 2003 installed on them.
In the calendar, when insert an Excel sheet into the body
of a apt. and then I try to open the sheet (it's not an
icon or a short cut)to edit it I get the follow message
from only my Win XP box:

"Some objects contain viruses that can be harmful to your
computer. It is important to be certain that this object
is from a trustworthy source.

Do you trust this embedded object?"

I've tried looking everywhere to see where I can disable
this message from coming up everytime I want to edit the
spreadsheet. It does not come up when I'm in my Win 2000
box.

Please help! I have to share this apt with others who will
be using it on a Win XP machine as well.

Thanks.
 
isn't there a check box on that warning dialog that says 'always ask before
opening this type of file'???
 
Nope. That option only comes up when it's from an e-mail
message. This only happens when I'm in an appointment.
 
Thanks! I went back to my mail and tried opening an excel
sheet from an e-mail. When that message came up I removed
the check mark from having that message appear everytime
and it worked.

Thanks a bunch for the idea!

Pam
